Our Story

Security Is a Human Right

LockNest was founded in 2018 with a simple belief: everyone deserves to feel safe in their home and workplace. We set out to build smart locks that combine world-class security with technology that actually makes life easier — not more complicated.

Headquartered in Austin, Texas, our team of 120 engineers, designers, and security experts obsesses over every detail — from the tensile strength of our shackles to the responsiveness of our app. We don't cut corners. Ever.

Our Mission & Values

The principles that guide every product we build and every decision we make.

Security Without Compromise

We hold every lock to the highest security standards — ANSI Grade 1, UL listed, BHMA certified. If it can't keep a determined intruder out, it doesn't ship.

Technology That Delights

Security shouldn't require a manual. Our products are engineered to be intuitive for a child and trusted by a security professional. That's the bar we set.

Built for Real People

We design for homeowners, renters, property managers, and businesses alike. Every feature starts with a real problem a real customer is facing.

Made to Last

We back every lock with a 2-year warranty and design for 10 years of daily use. Cheap, disposable security is not what we make — or what you deserve.
